Congratulations! You made it to university and are now saddled with debt and likely to leave with the same career prospects as everyone else. Read on to find out how to avoid that happening and make your time in university actually worth something.

Embrace the courses you choose

While you may choose some courses because they have low hours required or an easy pass, think twice. Whatever course you choose will stick with you for a long time. Even if you have to drop some electives in your second year don’t limit your choices by picking ones you know you will have no interest in. Spend your time learning as much as you can about these areas as it could be your future career.

Do that little bit extra

Outside of your course selection try and join some societies or organizations. You will build a strong network that you will use in your business years, make some friends, and it will look good on your resume.

Look at career options

Don’t go down blind alleyways. Start looking at what career you might enjoy and work backward. In fact, start thinking about how you want to retire and work backward!

Make friends

It is important to make friends in different circles at your university. It is the first time you will meet people from all walks of life, so embrace them all and see what sticks. Be open and you will discover your true self.

Fail forward

Everyone fails at one point or another in something. Learn to grow from such an experience and not to be dragged down. Use the help and guidance of others to see you through any difficulties but learn to strive forward on your own two feet.

Those are our five key tips for making the most of your time in university. Most of all, enjoy it. Once you leave you will wish you were still there. Make the most of it while you can.
